Burning the candle.

"Shush Braden, Mummy's asleep! 
I'm only going to wake her up when Jacob arrives back or if she starts snoring!"

I'm vaguely aware of my head on Abby's shoulder and her little arm around me.  "How sweet" I think dreamingly to myself.  And then I realise where I am. 
At the library.

What's that saying? Burning the candle at both ends.  I can't even tell you how far I'm pushing it right now, and it's not just scrapbooking.  It's life in general.   It's mostly the business my hubby and I have, but it's also the work I do.  It's the kids' commitments, it's end of year build up, it's just everything.  I'm tired.

Clearly.  As I fell asleep in the library on Abby's shoulder within 10 minutes of arriving. 

It's nice to know I have her trained well, and she would have woken me if I started snoring. 
(Takes me back to tertiary education days.  3 hour economics lectures and the agreement I had with my best friend that we'd only sleep one at a time and nudge awake if snoring started.  It was in a huge lecture theatre and really the tutor didn't care if you slept, we were adults, it was our perogative!)
Lucky for me.

Tarisota gallery is up, and looking fantastic.  See it here.  Here is one of my favourites.  Off to try and catch up on sleep.

Laters.

LMAO... can't say as I've ever fallen asleep in a public place but just goes to show you need to take a break over Christmas!! ;)

LMAO too :-) My boys would have poked me! I hope you find time to do a layout about that, shame the kids didn't have a camera ;-)
I hope you are well rested now.
